Strategic Projects & Planning Manager

The Citizenry is seeking an experienced analyst to play a dual role leading planning processes and supporting strategic projects. You’ll report directly to our Co-Founder & COO.

As The Citizenry works with artisans managing small-batch production around the world, the Planning Manager must bring a thoughtful, analytical, and yet adaptable approach to managing the sales & inventory plans, gross margin targets, and product pricing.

Your role is to ensure that we have the right product at the right time, in the right quantities, and at the right price. You will oversee the preparation of monthly financial statements to appropriately manage the open-to-buy and report on inventory. Finally, you will also own key strategic projects that may involve in-depth consumer research, market research or office or retail expansion.

You must have excellent analytical skills (with a strong command of Excel & Powerpoint), a natural love of problem-solving, and the ability to iterate quickly. The ideal candidate has a background in strategy consulting or finance combined with planning experience at a fashion or home goods brand.

Proven ability to make data-driven decisions, especially those related to inventory/buying

Strong intuition and high-level strategic thinking required

Ability to develop processes & reports from the ground up

Self-starter; comfortable with ownership and high level of responsibility

Strong work ethic, intellectual curiosity, and commitment to continuous improvement

A “figure it out” mindset – there’s no problem too big or too complicated for you to solve

Fast working, detail-oriented, and thoughtful. Bonus points for a sense of humor

Driven to make a positive impact in the world and your day-to-day environment

Passion for the job and The Citizenry’s brand vision
